On a cloudless night with the stars shining so brilliantly and a storm on the horizen showing it's strength with the thunder so loud and lightening so bright, I thought to myself "This is the perfect setting for my rite." I took out of my bag the tools needed for this speacial time and placed then on an alter that with my own hands made, for it could be nobody's but mine. With everything in it's place and myself mentally and physically prepaired, I sat out on this journey that I have thought long and hard to dare. The circle was cast and my invocation begun when I saw before me the things I had done. All these things in my past has led me toward my current task. I called upon the Watchtowers north, east, south, and west that I was ready to begin the test.

It was morning when I awoke with the sun rising above the hill and what happened the previous night I remember still. For once in my life I was accepted without hast and was told that time was something that I need not waste. With my path I am happy and secure because in myself I was shown something that was pure. "As above, so be it below." are six words that are needed to know. And to close each rite are some words so known~~~"Do what ye will and harm none. So mote it be and it is done.
I walk into the night to find my lover entangled in chains around a tree that is twice his height and aged in such a way that it is beyond beauty! My heart skips a beat as I look upon his naked body and see the look of horrific terror in his eyes. Does this man truely think that disaster has struck him and the need to fear for his very life is upon him? A smile dances across my lips for I know that there is nothing to fear. What could I do to harm the one I love? As my mind entertains the thought another one enters into my head, I could hurt him. This one that I love so standing there so helplessly and afraid for his very life. For I have given everything to him that he could want; a friend; a companion and a lover and all he has done is disrespect my whole being in such a way that utterly unforgivable. But the tree! There is no way I could harm such a magnificent entity. To even do as much as break the bark that shields it's innermost core would be a travisty. Now to make a decision. Back to my lover, what shall I do of him? For to let him go would prove a slippery situation later and to let him stay will weaken my defences. No matter what, no harm shall come of the tree. I decided to play.
I start to slowely untie the sash to my robe that I am wearing. Ever so seductively, slipping it off one shoulder then the other and finally letting it fall to the ground. I can see the relief in his eyes, now that he sees this is some sort of fantacy he relaxes, anticipating the next sensations to come. I walk up to him and start to rub on his chest, letting my fingers play over the conturs of his muscles ever so lightly, delicately. Slowely moving my hand down to his waist, he tenses up. I move my head in closer and just barley touch his nipple with my toungh while at the same moment grabbing a handful downstairs. Now for the shock. I had no intentin of playing this charade to it's end, well not what he considered the end.
I made my lover pull at the chains that bound him with all his might trying to touch his body to mine. With his body arched in such an angelic way I plunged my sword through the width of his body coming to a halt before my tree was invaded by the tip. I still marvel at the look of betrayel and heartach that was in his face as his body fell limp in the chains that would forever hold him in his place. Right before my lover's last breadth I whispered into his ear "You betrayed me first my love."
My tree still stands sacred in it's place. The company that threatened it's very exhistancebacked away with respect for my loss. The loss of their foreman, my lover, deeply hurt us all. But at least my beloved tree survived triumphly!
